Paint Valley 46, Piketon 32

It wasn't the prettiest, but it doesn't get much more fundamental than the Bearcats' SVC win against the Redstreaks.

As a team, Paint Valley finished 23-of-38 from the free-throw line, accounting for all but four of the teams 23 second-half points.

"We finished 5-of-16 from the foul line on Tuesday as a team, so for us to be able to turn that around and do what we did tonight was huge," Bearcats coach Joe Holbert said. "(Piketon coach Bret Coreno) did a good job of trying to take Stout and Stanforth away, and in the second half we only had two field goals. We were lucky to shoot as well as we did from the line."

"They were more aggressive than we were in the first half and by the time we were able to match that it was too late," Coreno said. "It all comes down to youth. At some point it will click, and I know this team will be right back here tomorrow busting their butts."

The Redstreaks (1-1, 1-1) were led by Kalen Jenkins' 10 points. Emily Legg added nine, and Aleah Pelphrey and Tara Carver each had five.

Paint Valley will host Zane Trace on Tuesday, and Piketon will travel to Adena the same day.
